用GPU来运行Python代码

简介

前几天捣鼓了一下Ubuntu,正是想用一下我旧电脑上的N卡,可以用GPU来跑代码,体验一下多核的快乐。

还好我这破电脑也是支持Cuda的:

$ sudo lshw -C display
  *-display                 
       description: 3D controller

安装相关工具

首先安装一下Cuda的开发工具,命令如下:

$ sudo apt install nvidia-cuda-toolkit

查看一下相关信息:

$ nvcc --version
nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver
Copyright (c) 2005-2021 NVIDIA Corporation
Built on Thu_Nov_18_09:45:30_PST_2021
Cuda compilation tools, release 11.5, V11.5.119
Build cuda_11.5.r11.5/compiler.30672275_0

通过Conda安装相关的依赖包:

conda install numba & conda install cudatoolkit

通过pip安装也可以,一样的。

测试与驱动安装

简单测试了一下,发觉报错了:

$ /home/larry/anaconda3/bin/python /home/larry/code/pkslow-samples/python/src/main/python/cuda/test1.py

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

网上搜了一下,发现是驱动问题。通过Ubuntu自带的工具安装显卡驱动:

用GPU来运行Python代码_第1张图片

还是失败:

$ nvidia-smi
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

最后,通过命令行安装驱动,成功解决这个问题:

$ sudo apt install nvidia-driver-470

检查后发现正常了:

测试代码也可以跑了。

测试Python代码

打印ID

准备以下代码:

from numba import cuda
import os

def cpu_print():
    print('cpu print')


@cuda.jit
def gpu_print():
    dataIndex = cuda.threadIdx.x + cuda.blockIdx.x * cuda.blockDim.x
    print('gpu print ', cuda.threadIdx.x, cuda.blockIdx.x, cuda.blockDim.x, dataIndex)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    gpu_print[4, 4]()
    cuda.synchronize()
    cpu_print()

这个代码主要有两个函数,一个是用CPU执行,一个是用GPU执行,执行打印操作。关键在于@cuda.jit这个注解,让代码在GPU上执行。运行结果如下:

$ /home/larry/anaconda3/bin/python /home/larry/code/pkslow-samples/python/src/main/python/cuda/print_test.py
gpu print  0 3 4 12
gpu print  1 3 4 13
gpu print  2 3 4 14
gpu print  3 3 4 15
gpu print  0 2 4 8
gpu print  1 2 4 9
gpu print  2 2 4 10
gpu print  3 2 4 11
gpu print  0 1 4 4
gpu print  1 1 4 5
gpu print  2 1 4 6
gpu print  3 1 4 7
gpu print  0 0 4 0
gpu print  1 0 4 1
gpu print  2 0 4 2
gpu print  3 0 4 3
cpu print

可以看到GPU总共打印了16次,使用了不同的Thread来执行。这次每次打印的结果都可能不同,因为提交GPU是异步执行的,无法确保哪个单元先执行。同时也需要调用同步函数cuda.synchronize(),确保GPU执行完再继续往下跑。

查看时间

我们通过这个函数来看GPU并行的力量:

from numba import jit, cuda
import numpy as np
# to measure exec time
from timeit import default_timer as timer


# normal function to run on cpu
def func(a):
    for i in range(10000000):
        a[i] += 1


# function optimized to run on gpu
@jit(target_backend='cuda')
def func2(a):
    for i in range(10000000):
        a[i] += 1


if __name__ == "__main__":
    n = 10000000
    a = np.ones(n, dtype=np.float64)

    start = timer()
    func(a)
    print("without GPU:", timer() - start)

    start = timer()
    func2(a)
    print("with GPU:", timer() - start)

结果如下:

$ /home/larry/anaconda3/bin/python /home/larry/code/pkslow-samples/python/src/main/python/cuda/time_test.py
without GPU: 3.7136273959999926
with GPU: 0.4040513340000871

可以看到使用CPU需要3.7秒,而GPU则只要0.4秒,还是能快不少的。当然这里不是说GPU一定比CPU快,具体要看任务的类型。
